That is a lovely, lovely car and I like the way the interior is all creased, it sort of shows its age but in a nice way.

Enzo, That is quite, quite beautiful. A car for the true Maserati connoisseur. Definitely worth a bit of research. Keep us posted?

Well Miles,
Initial contact made...had quite a long conversation, and know a little more about its history and condition,
I have the VIN number and possibly body number, will be getting engine number also...so I can do some more research.
It is a series 1, with the de-dion suspension...needs a bit of work by the sound of things, particularly on the interior...
Am discussing a possible PX deal with my Alfa and have given over appropriate details so he can do a little investigating...
long way to go yet...but getting a tad excited already.
Regards,
Enzo.

Yeah, think it makes sense...
Am getting very little use out of the Alfa...
I have just commissioned a new mohair hood for it, but work has not yet started...
so will see how that goes.
At least this way it is one in and one out :)
Regards,
Enzo.

They were not made with leather originally...only vinyl,
but there are a few around now that have been retrimmed in leather and are very nice.
For the most part, they will be the 'normales' though rather than the 'veloces'...very few veloces around
and they tend to be kept original. Alsio look out for 'ab-normales'...these started off life as normales and are then
made to look like veloces...the chassis number will be key in determining.
Not saying people deliberately do it to decieve...but as Iv'e said before...buyer beware!
